Grimaud

Grimaud (and Port Grimaud) are in the Var department of Provence, a few kilometres inland from St Tropez

Grimaud is a picture postcard perched-village, with a cluster of perfect houses around the small simple church, and the ruined castle posed on the hilltop above.

It is worth going up to the castle, both for the pleasure of the plant clad buildings that hug the route, and the very good views when you get there.

Below the village lies the altogether newer Port Grimaud. A city or a mooring marina? Designed as both, the quays are lined with gardens, and boats are moored against the houses. The 'marine village' combines the two extremely well and, due largely to the simple style and colours of the houses, it is easy to forget that this architectural drem only dates back 40 years. It does get a little busy sometimes though...

There are, of course, plenty of Mediterranean beaches close to hand if you find yourself here, including the Port Grimaud beach.
